top 2 are hornyhead chub by the looks of it (did it have blue along the lateral line), the other appears to be a central stoneroller or maybe a colored up creek chub or common shiner

actually that does look like theres blue (or blue-green) along the lateral line, so fish #1 is a hornyhead chub

I agree that the larger fish is a hornyhead chub or maybe a river chub both Nocomis species and with out clearer pictures it would be hard to be sure which you have. The smaller fish is not a minnow... The anal fin is too close to the tail which means it is a sucker and I think it is a white sucker although it is hard to say for sure from the photos.
